This project’s main focus is to perform a feasibility study of existing wastewater treatment technologies and methods which can be minimally altered in order to be integrated into the Army Force Provider system (1). The US Army is the most accomplished fighting force in the world and the key to its successes are the soldiers who risk their lives every day for their country. There is a constant push for innovation and improvement on technologies that would help protect the men and women serving at home and overseas. Base camps now have the ability to be almost completely self-sustainable for extended periods of time. One of the aspects that prevent base camp self-sustainability is the challenge of disposing of wastewater. The integration of portable wastewater treatment technologies into the Army Force Provider system would greatly increase the sustainability of base camps and the security of military missions at home and abroad.

In 2016, St. Cloud Wastewater Treatment Facility selected GE Jenbacher as the dual fuel engine of choice for their new renewable energy plant. For most cities, wastewater and drinking water treatment plants are major energy hogs so when St. Cloud was looking for ways to reduce its utility bills, it made sense to look at the sprawling wastewater treatment plant on the city’s south side.
The city of St. Cloud, Minnesota, launched an innovative project to use renewable energy to power the plant and installed...

Big Park Domestic Wastewater Improvement District in Arizona had constructed a new 500,000 gallons per day biological wastewater treatment system in 1997. As time passed, the aging plant was unable to keep up with increasing demands.ChallengesIn 2012, the District started working with Sunrise Engineering to find a solution that would work in their existing plant. Sunrise Engineering partnered with Aeration Industries International to upgrade the equalization basin, as well as the sludge digester/thickener.SolutionI...

Tata Steel Europe manufactures several types of packaging steel. One of the types is Electrolytic Chromium Coated Steel (ECCS). Until recently, a chemical containing chromium-6 was used to manufacture ECCS. Annex XIV of the REACH prohibits the use of chromium-6 with effect from 21 September 2017. It remains possible to apply for an exemption, but only a temporary one. Tata Steel looks to offer its employees the safest possible working environment, and that precludes the use of chromium-6.
Once it had become...

Sustainable wastewater technologies minimize mining’s environmental footprint
Mining for some minerals, including coal, has been diminishing due to increased financial, social, and environmental pressures, both in the United States and abroad. At the same time, mining for lithium and other metals — used in energy storage for electric cars, and wind and solar generation — is revving up with the rush to tap into renewable energy. For example, a Silver, Nevada, lithium mine recently signed an...
